It’s mid October and time to share another Vase on Monday, sponsored by Cathy Rambling in the Garden. The perennials in the garden are moving quickly now to shed their colorful glory, but it’s nice to be able still to share ‘Endless Summer’ hydrangeas and ‘Autumn Twist’ Encore azaleas.

The vase is a Japanese Kenzan flower arranger, which my Arranger has used on several occasions. The ivory netsuke figure was obtained during the time we lived in Tokyo, oh so many years ago.

Let me invite you to visit Cathy Rambling in the Garden to see her beautiful vase this week and those of others who participate in this meme.

About johnvic8

John Viccellio retired after 24 years in the U. S. Navy and began to dig into gardening when he could finally land in one place. He completed the Master Gardener course in 1992 and has since designed and constructed two of his own gardens. He wrote a monthly garden column for ten years and was a regular contributor to Carolina Gardener magazine. John published his first book, Guess What's in My Garden!, in 2014.
He lives in Stallings, NC with his wife, in close proximity to six of his eight grandchildren.

The Asters are done, the very small autumn crocus are still with me, the larger gone, stubborn summer phlox feed a bee here or there, pincushions share a bloom or two but it is my mums that are still going strong. We have not yet had a frost, odd that. It’s been unusually warm.

A Walk in the Garden

Please join me for A Walk in the Garden: a way of sharing gardening observations, spiced I hope with a dash of experience, a dollop of opinion, a slice of irreverence, a spoonful of love for plants, and a cup full of memories.
